  1. I was joking with my 11yo old daughter, and #SherlockHolmes buff, that the conference I attended had filled my brain up and I needed to forget something to make room, and asked her what the most unimportant thing I knew was. She immediately replied, "the Copernican system".

  3. A quotation from Doyle

       “You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
       “A proposition which I took the liberty of doubting.”
       “You did, Doctor, but none the less you must come round to my view, for otherwise I shall keep on piling fact upon fact on you until your reason breaks down under them and acknowledges me to be right.”

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1891-08), “The Red-Headed League,” The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 2

  9. What if the crime hasn't happened yet? In #TheHonourOfTheYorkshireLightArtillery, the sixth #SherlockHolmes #gamebook, you're undercover at a high-society party to prevent a jewel theft--not solve one. But the deeper you dig, the more layers you peel back...

  11. You can see the empty eyes, Lestrade. The self-satisfied smile. This man is no murderer, Inspector. He is an AI victim.

    Holmes's voice revealed something akin to pity for the man in custody.

    It is plain that our man here has lost all capacity to plan anything as complex as an actual murder of a physical human being. Notice his hand, still grasping the ergonomic mouse even though you have taken away his laptop. Too much ego boosting from the Affirmation Machine has closed him in on himself. If you check his laptop, you will find an open Claude session, not a floor plan of the victim's apartment.

    Your murderer is still out and about, Lestrade. What the man before us needs is rest and an Affirmation detox.

  14. Holmes laughed. My dear Lestrade, your theory is plainly incompatible with the facts.

    You assume that Lord Blackwell's hound ran across the moor and reached Crofter's Cottage by mid-afternoon. In a heatwave! Did you have a look at the hound? At 34 degrees in the shade, this majestic hunting creature won't move one paw. On the day of Lady Jane's death, he played no part in anything, murder or not. He lay motionless on the stone slabs by the fireplace, waiting for the evening breeze. Just as he does now.

    Facts, Lestrade, facts. I fear you will have to start again.

  18. But my dear Holmes, the murder took place at 10.20pm, during Norway vs England. Everyone was watching, so it would have been exceedingly easy for Sir Marmaduke to ...

    Forgive me, Watson, "Norway vs England"?

    Oh Holmes! Miami, the world cup. Football.

    Pray Watson, what is "football"?
